Not gonna lie, I teared up at 10:00! Nice touch. Thank you!!
Awesome video. I just acquired one like this that will go in my yard. You helped set my goal of July 4th. Thanks for the tutorial and pictures. I need to make up that metal sleeve/lightning rod.
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic job! Beautiful flagpole and home.
Thank You. Means a lot. God Bless America.
Beautiful work!
The kid with the shovel wasn’t watching and it almost popped out?
He was basically useless!
I would appreciate seeing the digging and the creation part.
That's a real Bute clark!
Thank You. Still gives me great pleasure seeing her flap in the wind every morning.
Very Majestic Mike. My 30fters base is going in tomorrow and raising will be Saturday. What lighting did you decide to go with? I'm doing (3) 22-degree/5000LM/5000K spot beams.
First - Thanks for watching. I tried a number of different lighting options. Initially, I ran a low voltage line into that planter bed that you see being constructed in the video.
I tried 3 low voltage LED well lights right at the base shining straight up. These: www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-Low-Voltage-500-Lumens-Black-Outdoor-Integrated-LED-In-Ground-Well-Light-Weather-Water-Rust-Resistant-62999/313932599
Whereas the light had no problem reaching the flag, there was way too much reflection coming off the pole itself. So they went back.
Then I got 3 low voltage LED spotlights. I went with the tightest beam I could find, with the highest wattage Equivalent. I remember they had three setting for color temp. I set it at the highest (whitest). These:
www.homedepot.com/p/Hampton-Bay-LED-Color-Changing-Flood-Light-with-Adjustable-Beam-Angle-IWH1501L-6/308488062
I set these further away from the base (if you look at my planter bed, I put them inside the bed, but at the outermost edge of the circumference). I aimed the center of the beam right at the gold ball. Still no good. Too much reflection off the pole. These were super bright and awesome. If I could have gotten them out further into the lawn, I think they would have worked great. But then I'd have to mow around them. So they went back.
I finally decided on a single LED Spot light (150wt equivalent). If you pause the video at 12:38 and look at my hedges. The spot light eventually was put right in front of the hedge row in the mulch bed on the right hand side.
I used something like this:

plugged into this:

With the light now about 25 feet horizontally away from the pole, the reflection off the Aluminum is much better and concentrates on the flag.
Ideally I would like to have two more out in the lawn getting it from different angles but then I run into the mowing issue again. The flag looks great at night when looking out of the house, but not so much from the street, because the light only comes from the other direction (if that makes sense). If you have any suggestions, I would love to know.
Here's a whole album you can scroll through. A lot of raw unedited video footage in this album.
